Saw a Casey Fossum DBacks bat at auction the other day, and since I'd never seen one before - he pitched briefly for us, in '04 - I picked it up, despite the fact that it's "game-ready" at best: no numbers, pine tar, sanding, use of any kind (except for lots of rack marks). What's a step below game-ready, for a bat...game-issued?
Anyway, when it came I was amazed at the thickness of the handle. It looks almost like one of those turn-of-the-last-century thick-handled bats you see, or a softball bat. Did a Google search and found references and photos of C12s used by Nellie Fox and Larry Bowa. In my own collection of over 900 bats, I don't have a single other C12. You?
